Final season? 
Does look to have more personality that the 22.

Had a feeling we'd be getting pics soon. Let's see what Nike cooks up. 21s and 22s were a step down from the 20 looks wise imo.

Zoom X has been mentioned, wonder what else they have cushioning wise?

Better go all out from a marketing standpoint too, 23’s, probably last year, these gotta be right!
Need dope simple colors, none of these bright loud unmatchy colors

this.
marketing will be like "23rd model will be a combination of all lebron's favorite tech plus new blah blah blah"
a case of if it aint broke dont fix it. new doesnt always mean better. implementation will always be the key factor

2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 20, and hopefully 23 is as aesthetically pleasing and comfortable to wear as the 20s. 12-19 was such a nasty run

The 19 is the most disgusting one in the line. Nasty.

Rest either aged poorly or were junk to begin with
2’s, 10’s and 14’s are ok

8 to this day are still top tier. Perfect in every way. Waiting for more retros.
8, 2, 1, 3, 10 in that order judged on casual appeal.
4s were solid but heavy and clunky to ball in.
9 elites are the only 9 I like.
Was never a fan of the beloved 11. Robots in disguise looking ahh shoe.
Big regret buying the 12.
Checked out after that

10 regular and elites are my go to for hoops
15 & 16 reminded me of the elite 10s cushioning but better
17 was more of an upgraded 90s era uptempo ish setup with 3/4 air unit and zoom forefoot. it worked fine for me
8 and 7 were also amazing but the 8's air max unit was better
5,9,11,13 I forgot i had but did not play a lot in them
visible air tech was always my thing

I'm still mad I paid full price for a pair. Even worse than their looks, they feel terrible on feet.

Bought a pair of lows at Ross (black and yellow), thought I was doin it. Got home tried me on and my old lady and my daughter were taking shots at me lol. Packed them mfs up back in the bag and left the house to return that day

2 best combo for looks/performance
3 looks really good and feels really bad on feet around the ankle
16 were super comfy but too clunky for ball
20/21 best performance, but too generic looking

AZG, 2, 9, 4 guess I’m alone but I always hated the look of the 3s.

I don’t even recall what the 19 lows look like so I hit up the search and did I just hear that the high retails for $200?!
